First reviews for this guitar found in Europe, I got on Ebay. Autand say I have the option purchase price IMMEDIATE, I was looking for a long time.
To see CHARACTERISTICS:
https://www.gibson.com/jp-jp/Divisions/Steinberger/Synapse% 20Series/SS-2FPA / ( https://www.gibson.com/jp-jp/Divisions/Steinberger/Synapse%20Series/SS-2FPA/ )
24 frets
no vibrato
The great originality of the handle is 28 5 / 8 "then two boxes and a cover supplmentaires Intgr. I tune in D / G / C / ... ... a lower tone of a Normal guitar tuning fork is then false (because the handle is too short!) on agreements in the high vacuum using ropes sometimes I find a sounds a bit false. baritone guitars are to be agreed prvues es 4 5-tone lower. So (I get there ...) this guitar with two boxes and more silent the only option.
The pickups are a EMG85 and EMG81 and a little more, there are sensors Intgr piezos.

UTILIZATION

Big dception to beginners ... Bordered on the guitar strings! APRS long hours rglages easel height of the handle and rod, I shall decide to mount larger strings (Elixir 10-52). I think the strings of origins are not adapted. Fortunately It is not necessary to use double ball strings, the strings are mounted trs good standards, the new mounting Systm Steinberg is really good. Then new rglages, ay is a frieze more.
The handle is plutt large, say over my Parker especially. If you like Epiphone and other Lespaul a go, otherwise Ben will get used to. APRS one hour of game comments dj come ... we&#39;ll see in a few days ...
Access in acute Corret no more.
Excellent ergonomics, I was looking for a guitar for a small and portable it is perfect. With folding metal legs sitting trs is finally comfortable.
Ct look (for those that have INTERESTED) is the custom version in red (well plutt carmine, burgundy), I find it really beautiful.

SOUNDS

Ct sound was potato EMG pickups. Ct volume is adjustable, knob shuffled microphones / piezos, acute, severe. There is a midpoint for the last 3 knobs. Beware of EQ is active in the middle no modification, to the right boosts it, left it Reduces. Beware when HP boosts the bass!
The piezo sound is not only convincing trs, it&#39;s just good for adding shine and prsence shuffled in with the microphones magntiques. (HS: I have a Parker Fly Deluxe also team of piezos and I can assure you that resembles an acoustic sound!)
I like the sound good but I do not care a bit because (for me it&#39;s a personal opinion trs eh!) The sound is 80% done by the effects and amp ... and you can always change the pickups to your guitar. (I play or simulation blackbox ToneLab, and I&#39;m trying to make me a pedal board by LNA).

OVERALL OPINION

I will surely notice day soon I did that for 10 days.
I like the concept of the handle longer (two cases) and the sliding cover.
I like Systm tuning, are not stable and it is really convenient, is not run 10 laps to change a string and then it just below the right hand, no need to draw its arms up to the head to match.
I like the EMG
I do not like too big inning.
I do not like the sound of piezo sensors.
The report is correct because it qualitprix even when an exceptional guitar (I got it new for 930, yes 120 for shipping).
I bought at the same time a Parker Fly Deluxe and forcing aa greatly influenced my opinion on this guitar. The handle of the Parker is a day ... rve rgal one, anyone who plays 2x better on this set. Anyway I miss two boxes on the Parker (and one must also consider some!), And ropes to climb the biggest I have gives me the famous resort of trmolo found n11 ... (well I speak of has also ...).
I was looking for a guitar that can transportable rgler my problem tuning a tone below normal, this guitar is for me. Any fawn it has no competitor, so I had no choice. I&#39;m really happy to have found it because I could not see myself waiting another 2 years until what is dcident Rican export.
If you find one ... good luck!

Following questions from a member, I put my mind days (18 months APRS!) For the scratch because finally I not keep long. Note therefore the magazine down.
The handle of the scraper is a shit, it&#39;s for bcherons.
I have put bigger strings and I spent 3 hours rglages of all kinds for more than it frieze.
I really wanted a small portable guitar, but this is really bad scratches. It is quite heavy even when.
The only great thing is the bridge with the Systm tuning. And she is quite nice (issue got)! Ah yes, the sound of EMG sends really good but the piezo is not great.
In the end I transform a Parker Fly Deluxe (so the handle is a RVE) to look like a synapse (see forum parker "I Chri Parker Fly Deluxe rtrcie my" )
The Systm clamp the head string to use single strings is not good. It is a screw that crushes the cord. If we used too much rope breaks. This is not sustainable.
I had even bought it and get on my parker fly back for the final two balls a system that strings. To stay tune and easily change the strings are no better.
Concept remains the two boxes, to match a lower tone and keep a more or less just intonation, it&#39;s right what I wanted and I miss him. But the handle of the synapse, I do not support a long time, I played as a ... sleeve!
On Parker, I become Satriani. What matters ultimately is to be the most comfortable playing the best, right?
Too bad the all-carbon Steinberger GL (true, when Ned Steinberger l! silent still) no longer exist.
PS: That&#39;s my opinion, some may find that j&#39;exagre be but I sold it after 1 month.
